Sea Spiders

I have an abundance of them, definitely eating SPS, acan and hammer. I see them on my zoas but have not noticed any damage yet.

I plan on getting Interceptor tomorrow. My tank is only ~2 gallons, clean up crew are 4 snails and brittle stars. I was thinking of a heavy dose, then a 100% water change 2 hours later. From everything I can see the Interceptor will not harm the snails or brittle stars, can someone confirm?

I really don’t think that will do anything to the spiders. They are really hard to kill. Can you just dip the coral? Bayer won’t make them happy. How many spiders are in there?

A friend had to tear down a whole coral system to get rid of them.

Sea spiders die almost instantly in a freshwater dip you could wipe them all out by doing about a 5 second fresh water dip on everything in the tank.
